  “Very fun, not Leigh's best, but enjoyable. I liked Adda's attitude especially.”

  “Pretty good. I didn't realize it was a "Christian" novel til the end...which explains some things. All in all, a nice, clean read.”

  “The was a fun but serious take on salvation and forgiveness through the eyes of romance writers. I absolutely loved the way Tamara Leigh handled the discussion questions at the end, what a way to mix things up. This book is much more than a catty look at the publishing world and it's definitely worth a read.”

  “Of the 3 books by Tamara Leigh I've read--all of which I loved--this one is probably my favorite. But then, Adda is an author, so I particularly relate to her trials and tribulations. This book is just too, too funny! It kept me laughing all the way through. Great romance too!”

  “ This book is so entertaining. I won this book from titletrakk.com. The main character, Adda, speaks what she is thinking and it cracks me up. The story is about Adda as a romance author and the world of publishing books. It was quite an interesting look into this world and I really enjoyed the character. Her thoughts are just so hilarious. You ever think things that somehow flow to your mouth and you think, "Did I just say that out loud?" Adda is a character who just can't seem to keep her mouth from speaking what she thinks. She can't help herself. There's a little romance, a little comedy, a little mystery, a little of this and a little of that. It has it all. Definitely a book that I couldn't get enough of. I would recommend this book for sure.”

  “'Hilarious' doesn't come close to defining the sarcastic wit of Tamara Leigh. She's created one of the most unique heroines I've read in a long time. I laughed out loud into the wee hours of the morning unable to put it down. From the battles of her conscience—which Adda nicknamed Prim and Improper—to her search for faith, nothing is safe from Leigh's tongue-in-cheek humor. Poor Adda is the walking example of Murphy's Law, especially when Improper eggs her on.
  
  Using the publishing world as her backdrop, the stakes rise when Adda is accused of plagiarism by her arch-nemesis, Birgitta Roth—a.k.a. Stick Woman. But mirth reigns throughout the book, whether it's a love scene gone awry or snatching a handful of Stick Woman's hair, Tamara Leigh brings her readers along on a merry ride. She even handled the problem of cursing with humor. She merely bleeped them out. I got so tickled at the bleeps, I began to "hear" them (the bleeps, not the curses), as I'm sure Leigh intended.
  
  Weaving a search for faith into this side-splitter was well done and never out of character. Adda remained faithfully Adda, even as she tried to be otherwise. One of my favorite reads of this year. I'm still giggling as I write this. Stealing Adda is a book I'll read again.
